Fix two shortcomings in the Extended Key ID API:
1) Allow the userspace to install pairwise keys using keyid 1 without
NL80211_KEY_NO_TX set. This allows the userspace to install and
activate pairwise keys with keyid 1 in the same way as for keyid 0,
simplifying the API usage for e.g. FILS and FT key installs.
2) IEEE 802.11 - 2016 restricts Extended Key ID usage to CCMP/GCMP
ciphers in IEEE 802.11 - 2016 "9.4.2.25.4 RSN capabilities".
Enforce that when installing a key.

Changes compared to v1:
Refuse any Extended Key ID actions for TKIP keys. V1 still allowed them
for keyid 0.
Remarks from v1 still apply and are unchanged:
This patch ended up redesigning the Extended Key ID key install checks
from scratch...
While working on wpa_supplicant/hostapd Extended Key ID support it
turned out that it's still useful to be able to install and activate a
pairwise key for Tx in one step. So instead of forcing the userspace to
always install and then activate a key I would prefer to fix the API and
relax the checks with this patch.
Down side of that is, that we have to get the fix also into 5.2 and 5.3.
All kernels without the fix will potentially not work correctly with the
upcoming userspace when using FT (fast roaming) or FILS with an Extended
Key ID capable AP. (Anyone using the existing API will not notice the
difference, but I'm next to sure it's only used by my experimental hostapd
patches so far.)
So ideally we get this patch back ported to all kernels which also have
6cdd3979a2bd ("nl80211/cfg80211: Extended Key ID support")
Another issue I tripped over while getting the hostapd patches into
shape is, that our mac80211 TKIP SW crypto implementation drops unicast
packets on receive when they are using keyid 1.
Since a standard compliant implementation of Extended Key ID must not
use TKIP enforcing that rule at key install seems to be preferable
to handle that within mac80211.
